My place in this world

It's embarrassing to look at this and realize that it's been over a year since I last looked at this. I think realistically, I need to set a goal and actually stick to it. It's like anything in life, diets, meditation, health regimes...What good is it if you aren't sticking to it? It's very easy to get side tracked in life or in my case, distracted. I easily let things distract me. Why is that? The things about writing is that it is such a good way (along with music) to soothe the soul. It's getting all that junk that floats around your brain onto paper (albeit in my case I think the term is "verbal vomit"). Either way, I really should partake more in this soul therapy. I think I would have a few less sick days and flu rashes if I would just let it all out. So what has this last year looked like for me? Work. Too much work honestly and very little life experience. I need to do more with life experience. I get caught up in this sort of "rat race" life where I try to be competitive and work my way up the ladder. How's it going you ask? Crap. It's all crap. I hate it, but I want it. I can't seem to have it which then knocks my self-confidence. I know at some point I will find my stride. My place in this world, but right now, it's all a bit of a mess. I'm sitting here today, home sick from work. A disgusting wad of snot and flu rashes all over my body that both itch and burn at the same time. I've been sleeping most of the day and contemplating my purpose in life. There's an old Micheal W. Smith song (Yes friends, I am going to get very early 90's ballad cheesy on you!) called "Place in this world" to which I think sums up my life nicely: "looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find my place in this world..." who knew that looking would also come with a LOT of humbling moments? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I want to be a CEO or have any other unrealistic dreams or ambitions. I just want something that I can look forward to and feel fulfilled by. Apparently they call this stage "the dark night of the soul". Sounds a lot more intense then it really is...I think it's probably just a nice way of saying "Your not old enough for menopause, so this is the next best explanation for your crazy!". I think that there is more for me out there. I knew there was more for me with love and found that, now I need to find that "more" in my personal and work life. I think I am not living to my fullest capabilities. I play around with ideas in my head, but at the end of the day I am stumped. I think I am stumped because I lost a lot of my passion. I can't think of anything that I am good at or love to do (unless stuffing my face with food while watching loads of shows and movies count). I love life, I love to get out, exercise, enjoy the company of my friends, etc. But I have no real talent that could be translated into life work. I can't make jewelry, you can see first hand how amazing my writing is...I need a challenge that is going to stir my passion and give me loads of opportunities I've always dreamed of. You know what I love? Travel and experiences. I don't need stuff. I just need to learn the different wonders of the world. I need to get into that...where can I sign up for that? Added bonus for beach time with cocktails! I don't know if any of you have ever felt this same way. I hope that if you had, this entry made you smile and maybe made you feel a little less alone. Here's to being 34 and not knowing what you want to be when you grow up! :)

Do you think I'm a fool?

Its funny that certain people always thought I would be just a pee on. Well, it's nice for once to see you sweating the bullets! You see, I hate being peed on, but I also know what goes around comes around and with a little bit of hard work and some good karma, all the sudden I don't seem so weak! I love how you think you can play the emotional cards on me such as "Leaving the love of family and close friends!"...What you don't realize is that I don't care...It's not that I don't care about the love of family and close friends mind you, because I do, it's that all my family and friends are completely supportive and excited for me about this, so trying to use them against me is pointless because I already have "their blessings". I've got the love and support from the people I CARE about! It's just that you think I'm impressionable and naive, but what it has come down to is that I say anything just to shut you up! You think your...

Happy New Years!

Another year down. Another 365 days of life experiences, ups, downs, tears, laughter and whatever else can be compacted into this little brain of mine! In all honesty, 2012 probably wasn't one of my most favorite years to look back on. There were a lot of trails and frustrations and it has pretty much left me back to starting over again. Not that starting over is a bad thing! BUT I feel like I'm back to square one. Still need to find another job and I've applied for so many already! I've been a bit frustrated about that. Funds are really tight and poor hubby is having to put in a lot of extra time at work, but moving will help a lot! The first couple months of 2013 will be a bit tight, but I can tell you I'm very hopeful for better things! They seem to be looking up anyways! So I am hopeful! I've never been a big massive fan of doing the whole "New Years Resolutions" thing. I've always figured that becoming a better person doesn't just h...

Annual Update!

So I am the queen at updating this blog once a year! I don't mean to neglect, but it's just been so busy for me! Life certainly keeps me on my toes these days! Big events that are worth noting for the past year: -Bought a house! It's a lovely three bedroom detached house that I can call my own, hide in to get away from the world. Decorate any way I want and fill with love! I couldn't be happier here and have really settled in well! -Got a dog! He's a year old now and named Mack. Mack is a gorgeous black lab puppy with the most loving personality and the energy of 20 kids hyped up on sugar! He is the sweetest and most exhausting little guy, but he is my baby! Here is my warning for when you visit: Beware of dog, he does not hold licker well! Haha! I love that he makes me a more active person. I walk him daily and play with him when I would probably otherwise just sit on my backside and watch TV. So he's awesome all around. -I am officially a UK CITIZEN!!! Wh...
